Very little strategy is needed to play Hugtana. Just take advantage of the enormous attack and DR your opponent's stronger cards with spiaghi and ottavia. The damage is a bit on the low side, so try not to get poisened or dig too deep of a hole in the initial rounds to get out of.

Of course you won't get to 1500elo with hugtana, but still it's a great deck for starters because of its low cost and ease of use.

Ok well elo is based all around strategy.
a good thing to know is how to use and manipulate 'fear' and estimation. by this i mean cards like sylth that are scary and so fearful. people wont bluff against him unless they have soa so if you were to bluff they will pill (mostly). as for estimation, this mainly is about people underestimating cards like pegh for example, he is a dr so people wont pill much. i find you can get him (and his lovely bonus of +2 life) through in around 2-3 pillz. the opposite end is overestimation where people expect you to pill alot. this is found mainly in low powered-high damage cards like don or fuzz.

I know its not a very good deck and i need help. I pick my cards based on their ability and their bonuses. In that case i would need help deciding on which clans and which cards to buy. i currently have around 1000 clintz.

I actually like it the way it is, 5 life gainers, 2 poisoners, 5 DRs, and a couple duoble gainers (Nyema and Scopica) with Noemi and Brittany for control, Noemi is a lot more powerful than people give her credit for I got 1250+ with her in my dec.

In the long run you'll get average of 250 clintz per lottery if you spennd all the possible tickets. That's not profitable in the long run since the only way to get tickets is to sell characters. Now as a single char is worth atleast 50 to kate - much more on private sales - and average yield per one ticket is just 10 clintz.... no, you cant get rich on the lottery UNLESS you get the CR card and/or are insanely lucky to pick right number each week for the same ticket number...

The prize draw tickets from missions ... just spend them to lotteries that have that CR you want. You can pick the "certain numbers" to avoid bad luck ofcourse.
